DJI AP100 Parachute System

Parachute system for DJI Matrice 400. Automatic deployment response time up to 0.6 s and stabilized descent speed of no more than 5 m/s under DJI test conditions. Reduces the consequences of an emergency fall of the drone and payload.

Description

DJI AP100 — a parachute system for DJI Matrice 400 that reduces the consequences of an emergency fall of the platform and its expensive payload.

The system detects flight anomalies on its own and triggers parachute deployment within 0.6 s, after which the drone descends at no more than 5 m/s. The minimum effective deployment altitude is 30 m according to DJI.

AP100 integrates with Matrice 400 systems and is used as part of a safety configuration selected for the operating conditions. After installation, the rear and bottom millimeter-wave radars of the M400 are disabled.

Key features

  • Automatic deployment — upon flight anomalies.
  • Automatic deployment response time up to 0.6 s — fast triggering.
  • Descent at no more than 5 m/s — under DJI test conditions.
  • Minimum altitude 30 m — effective deployment according to DJI.
  • Integration with Matrice 400 — works as part of the platform's systems.

Compatible devices

C6/UK6 class certification requires a factory-certified configuration; installing AP100 separately does not grant this class.

WeightApprox. 935 g (with bracket)
Max Supported Takeoff Weight15.8 kg
Compatible AircraftDJI Matrice 400
Operating Temperature-20° to 50° C (-4° to 122° F)
Operating Altitude0 to 4500 m
Ingress Protection RatingIP55Please follow the requirements stated in the IP55 protection rating instructions. Measured in a controlled environment. The IP rating is not permanently effective and may decrease due to product wear and tear.
Stabilized Descent Speed≤ 5 m/sMeasured in a windless environment at 25° C (77° F), at an altitude between 30 m and 500 m, with DJI Matrice 400 taking off at the max takeoff weight of 15.8 kg. Data is for reference only. Actual experience may vary depending on the environment, usage, and firmware version.
Effective Deployment Altitude≥ 30 m
The 30 m data was measured in a windless environment at 25° C (77° F), at an altitude below 500 m, with DJI Matrice 400 taking off at the max takeoff weight of 15.8 kg. Data is for reference only. Actual experience may vary depending on the environment, usage, and firmware version.The minimum effective deployment altitude of DJI AP100 Parachute is 30 m (the minimum vertical altitude required for the parachute to stabilize the aircraft's descent below 5 m/s). If deployed below 30 m, the parachute will still eject, but may not fully inflate to adequately slow the descent. Additionally, in some cases, auto-deployment may not trigger, requiring manual operation. Please fly with caution. For detailed features and trigger conditions, visit the official product page.
Automatic Deployment Response Time≤ 600 msMeasured in a controlled laboratory environment. With DJI Matrice 400 hovering and propellers spinning, this is the total time interval recorded from the triggering of the Flight Termination System (FTS) signal, through the confirmation of a complete rotor stop, to the triggering of the gas generator's electrical signal. Data is for reference only. Actual experience may vary depending on the environment, usage, and firmware version.

Automatic DeploymentSupports Automatic Deployment triggered by flight anomalies* or Geocaging**
1. The aircraft is within a 10m radius of the Home Point, and its relative altitude is within 15 m above or below the Home Point.
2. With Cleaning Mode enabled, the aircraft is within a 10m radius of the Home Point, and its relative altitude is within 15 m above the Home Point.
** Geocaging is supported in the following countries and regions: EU member states (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden), the United Kingdom, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Serbia, and Georgia.* The parachute will automatically deploy upon detecting abnormal aircraft attitude or speed. However, to mitigate the risk of damage to nearby equipment or property caused by close-range deployment, the automatic deployment will be disabled under either of the following conditions:

Advanced Function

Audible and Visual AlarmsAlarms last for approx. 1 hour after deployment* and can be turned off via the physical button on the parachute.* Measured at 25° C (77° F) with the parachute in its factory state, or when the parachute is connected to the aircraft for over 30 minutes of flight time each month. Data is for reference only. Actual experience may vary depending on the environment, usage, and firmware version.
Backup Power DurationApprox. 1 hourMeasured at 25° C (77° F) with the parachute in its factory state, or when the parachute is connected to the aircraft for over 30 minutes of flight time each month. Data is for reference only. Actual experience may vary depending on the environment, usage, and firmware version.
Self-CheckContinuously monitors the status of the gas generator and communication links, displaying alerts via the DJI Pilot 2 Health Management System (HMS) interface.
